Get Tomb 1.4 up and running on Ubuntu 13.10

Tomb is an excellent command line tool for maintaining encrypted files. Tomb files can be stored on an Internet-facing server so that they can be accessed from anywhere in the world using any SSH client. An adversary would have to compromise said server, gain administrative privileges, and brute force the Tombs (if they have the key files) in order to recover the contents of said Tombs. Someone that is more “at risk” than me should invoke an air gap between the Internet and their Tombs. Managing your Tomb’s key files is a different matter that I’ll discuss later.
